SMACKDOWN LIVE SUPERTHREAD

Think theory interrupted Pat's attempt at finishing his version of Real Slim Shady.

How come the Rock and Cena can appear during the Strike? Or is it just the same as ones appearing on chat shows, etc, as long as they don't promote anything?

Seems to be a bit of a running joke where Cena isn't allowed to speak. I know they've done it once or twice before.

And with all the talking, they only had 4 matches. It did seem like they were working with a limited roster or something.

Maybe it's the ring gear but looks like Shotzi is on the same plan as Becky.

Waller is great, Theory is bland as already mentioned and I can't get into main event Jimmy either yet

I'd be happy for a Reigns / LA Knight brief feud and match

Iyo not around to build her match with Asuka

Some actors are doing film festivals, some talk shows are back, I'll be honest I'm confused by what is allowed by SAG strikers

The Rock and Oprah getting flack for Maui donation fund yet they made donations personally

Think that's a bit harsh.

Even without considering Endeavour, when all is said and done, there are actually plenty of wrestlers that are part of SAG that are still wrestling, it's just that Cena and the Rock are more actor than wrestler now.

I'd be more critical if it wasn't for the fact that SAG have clearly never had any intention of putting 'wrestlers' in their union when asked in the past. They can't deny them being in their union on one hand and then scold them with the other.

It's a complex situation though.

SmackDown is leaving Fox and returning to USA Network in October 2024

AJ and Cena are teaming up against Solo and Jimmy

Iyo defends against Asuka

Ah, there they are. Using the tag titles curse to bring Alba and Isla back. That's commitment from WWE to injure the women just to promote a team. 😀

Charlotte getting involved in the women's title match? I'm shocked! When Iyo vs Asuka was set up I was looking forward to a promo or 2 between them, but didn't get them. Also I see Dakota has the knee brace on again. Maybe she's started training for a return.

Don't think Elton is copying Roddy. The whole #<insert name>strong thing seems to be a common thing. Just for Roddy, it plays on his name as well. But here, I think it's just a coincidence.

I'd say first Bobby needs to get them to be more serious. When they first reappeared with Bobby they attacked everyone. But after that they just went back to acting the same as before.

I think he's a Smackdown talent so will ask here. Is Cameron Grimes injured?

Knight as Cena's partner is a good move, he is over and could get a Reigns singles match

Second time now I've asked about someone and they turned up.

For some reason a dark match was available online with Ashante Adonis Vs Butch filmed before smackdown. Ended with the commentators coming out. Kevin Patrick and Cole came out together to Cole's entrance and Corey got his own entrance.

Jey and Cody are on Smackdown this week, can we expect a Bloodline encounter
